• Provide more relevant advertising for the user;
• Measurement, optimization, and analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed, and how a user reaches a website (examples – through search engines, directly from other websites, etc.).

Security issues

For security purposes, data passed between the web server and the browser in SSL encrypted and therefore, Moonlysoft has implemented specific measures for protecting your personal data stored in cookies.

Cookies are installed through the request issued by a webserver to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Safari etc.) and are completely passive – they do not contain software programs, viruses, spyware and cannot access the information stored on the user’s hard drive.Cookies do dot consist of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed, nor can auto-execute.

Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Since they store information about your preferences and browsing history of users, both on a particular site and several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware.

Because through cookies information is constantly being sent between the browser and the website, in both ways, if an unauthorized person intercepts the flow of data, the information stored in cookies can be intercepted. Although rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server through an unencrypted network (for example, an unsecured WiFi connection).

Other attacks based on cookies imply incorrect cookies settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, unauthorized persons can use this vulnerability in order to deceive the browser in order to send information through unsecured channels. The information is then used by the unauthorized persons for purposes to access various websites.

It is important to be aware in choosing the best method for protecting your personal information.

Generally, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of acceptance of cookies, validity and automatically deleted after the user visited a particular site.

Here are some tips that can help you navigate effortlessly with cookies:

• Customize your cookie browser settings to reflect a comfortable level for your cookie security;
• If you share the computer access with another person, you can consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is a way to access sites that place cookies and delete any visitor information when you close the browsing session;
• Install and constantly update your anti-spyware applications;
• Many of the applications for detecting and preventing spyware include detecting attacks on sites. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software;
• Make sure your browser is always up-to-date. Many of the cookies-based attacks are exploited by exploiting the weaknesses of older browser versions.
